FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a coating composition and a method for coating using the same, and more particularly, the present invention relates to a coating composition and a method for coating using the same for preventing adhesion of advertising materials by being coated on public or private facilities, such as walls, poles, street lights, or traffic lights, for the purpose of preventing attachment of unlawful advertising materials.

BACKGROUND ART

Generally, the poles for street lamps, road signs, traffic signals, and power transmission are installed at places having very good visibility. Accordingly, they attract attachment of unlawful advertisement materials.

Other road facilities installed at highly-visible locations further include fences and breast walls, which are also exposed to adhesion of unlawful advertising materials.

Unlawful advertising materials are one of the major sources which deteriorate urban environment. The leaflets and posters posted on various private and public facilities without due authorization defile the appearance of the street, especially, those attached on the surface or posts of traffic signs can be a cause of traffic accident by distracting drivers from driving or deteriorating the communication capacity of the traffic signs.

In the mean time, many local governments are operating a dedicated team for removing such unlawful advertising materials on a continuous basis, however, fail to provide a fundamental solution due to high cost.

To this end, plates or sheets which can prevent unlawful advertising materials from being attached on street lights, road signs, and traffic signals installed along on the roads are suggested.

Examples of the sheets for preventing unlawful advertising materials include a sheet made of rubber or a synthetic resin, formed with conical, quadrangular pyramidal, or similar projections on one surface, and the sheet wraps around a post of street light, road sign or traffic light and fastened with one or more additional bands.

However, this configuration requires additional bands and fasteners to fix the sheet, and defiles the appearance of the street with the exposed bands and fasteners, not mentioning the structural complexity.

FIG. 1 is a picture of the small projections formed on the first coating layer of the coating composition for preventing adhesion of advertising materials in accordance with the present invention, obtained by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

The coating composition in accordance with the present invention can be coated on public or private installations, such as walls, poles, street lights, or traffic lights, to prevent adhesion of unlawful advertising materials on the installation. In the present invention, the advertising materials include leaflets, stickers and other bills posted on outdoor installations using adhesives.

Referring to FIG. 1, the coating composition for preventing adhesion of advertising materials in accordance with the present invention comprises a first coating composition and a second coating composition.

The first coating composition can be coated on public or private installations, such as walls, poles, street lights, or traffic lights, to prevent adhesion of unlawful advertising materials on the installation. The first coating composition, when coated on private or public installations, forms very small irregularities on the dried surface to allow easy removal of advertising materials attached on the coating sheet in accordance with the present invention without using a mechanical means such as a scrapper. The first coating composition can be coated on public or private installations such as walls, poles, street lights and traffic lights by air spraying or roller coating method. The public or private installations may be made of a material having a soft surface, for example, PVC, or metallic materials.

The first coating composition may comprise: 25 to 35 parts by weight of urethane resin solution, acrylic resin solution, or epoxy resin solution; 5 to 35 parts by weight of urethane pigment, acryl pigment or epoxy pigment, 10 to 20 parts by weight of PE-thermoplastic resin beads, phenol resin beads, melamine resin beads, epoxy resin beads, polystyrene resin beads or glass beads having a wide range of diameters between from 10 to 500 μm; 40 to 52 parts by weight of urethane thinner and toluene; and 2 to 4 parts by weight of curing agent for increasing hardness or promoting hardening. The curing agent can be isocyanate TDI (toluene d-iso cyanate), MDI (Michelson Doppler Imager) urethane synthetic resin, diethylenetriamine (DETA), TET (Tetramethylthiurammonosulfide), acrylic, or epoxy curing agent.

In addition, the urethane pigment, acryl pigment or epoxy pigment can be transparent or have various colors so that a desirable color can be selected and used to match the color of the private or public installations in order not to defile the appearance of the street.

Of the coating compositions in accordance with the present invention for preventing adhesion of advertising materials, the first coating composition can further comprise a silica curing agent. The silica curing agent used in cold seasons can be added to reduce curing time and drying time of the composition of the first coating layer at an ambient temperature between from −1 to −20 degrees Celsius. For the purpose of the present invention, the silica curing agent can be added by from 4 to 8 parts by weight.

In addition, the first coating composition can further comprise fine particles of luminous paint. The luminous paint particles are added to enhance visibility of the installations at night by reflecting light. The particle size ranges from between 50 to 250 μm and the concentration ranges from between 10 to 15 unit weight per 100 unit weight of the first coating composition. In the present invention, the luminous paint particles can be zinc sulfide containing copper added with radium or alkaline earth metal sulfide or zinc sulfide added with a heavy metal. In the present invention, the small irregularity formed on the cured coating layer of the first coating composition and the light reflected by the luminous paint particles improve releasability and visibility of installations.

The second coating composition is coated on the cured surface of the first coating composition to further improve the releasability of the first coating composition. The second coating composition can be applied onto the coating layer of the first coating composition by air spraying or roller coating method, can be formed in a thin film shape to improve releasability, and can prevent adhesion of the adhesive of advertising materials.

The second coating composition can comprise 8 to 12 parts by weight of silicon release agent, 40 to 55 parts by weight of hexane as a diluting solvent, 20 to 25 parts by weight of toluene, and 0.08 to 0.18 parts by weight of platinum catalyst to promote curing.

In the present invention, the second coating composition can further comprise acetic acid type silicone or non-acetic acid type silicone to promote curing. In an embodiment of the present invention, platinum catalyst is used to promote curing, and in addition, a mixture of platinum catalyst and acetic acid type of non-acetic acid type silicone can be used to further reduce the curing time.

Acetic acid type silicone which is a silicone based on acetic acid, has acidity and fast curing rate by 6, is low priced and highly adhesive to glass and ceramic materials. Non-acetic acid type silicone which does not contain acetic acid in the silicone provides good adhesive strength to mirrors, aluminum, wood, and stone, and its drying rate is lower than that of acetic acid type but it can provide stable adhesive strength.

The coating composition in accordance with the present invention for preventing adhesion of advertising materials comprises a first coating composition comprising PE-thermoplastic resin beads, phenol resin beads, melamine resin beads, epoxy resin beads, polystyrene resin beads or glass beads, and a second coating composition comprising a silicone release agent. Because the first coating composition and the second coating composition provide insulation property when cured, the coating layer of the coating composition in accordance with the present invention for preventing adhesion of advertising materials can prevent electric shock when applied to street lights and traffic lights.

The first coating composition and the second coating composition may further comprise an oil component to improve releasability from advertising materials.

The oil can be selectively silicone oil, paraffin oil, terrapin oil, or petrol oil, and can be added in the mixture of the first coating composition and the second coating composition to further improve releasability of the first coating composition and the second coating composition.

The coating method of the coating composition for preventing adhesion of advertising materials in accordance with the present invention is described hereinbelow in further detail referring to the accompanying drawings.

First, a user can select a public or private installation such as a wall, pole, street light or traffic light to which the coating composition in accordance with the present invention is to be applied. The public or private installation can be made of PVC, FLEX fabric, PP, PET, or other soft synthetic resins.

In the next step, the first coating composition can be coated on the selected installation. The first coating composition can comprise 25 to 35 parts by weight of urethane resin solution, acrylic resin solution, or epoxy resin solution, 5 to 35 parts by weight of urethane pigment, acrylic pigment, or epoxy pigment, 10 to 20 parts by weight of PE-thermoplastic resin beads, phenol resin beads, melamine resin beads, epoxy resin beads, polystyrene resin beads or glass beads having diameters ranging between from 10 to 500 μm, 40 to 52 parts by weight of urethane thinner and toluene, and 2 to 4 parts by weight of curing agent which can be isocyanate TDI (toluene d-iso cyanate), MDI (Michelson Doppler Imager) urethane synthetic resin, diethylenetriamine (DETA), TET (Tetramethylthiurammonosulfide), acrylic, or epoxy curing agent, can be applied onto the installation by air spraying or roller coating, and dried naturally at a temperature between from 10 to 35 degrees Celsius for one and a half hour to two and a half hour. During the curing process, the composition forms very small irregularities as shown in FIG. 1.

Here, the user may add a silica curing agent in the first coating composition in cold seasons, or add fine particles of luminous paint to enhance visibility of the installation at night by reflecting light, or add oil to improve releasability.

After forming a coating layer with the first coating composition, the second coating composition can be coated on the coating layer of the first coating composition. The second coating composition can comprise: 8 to 12 parts by weight of silicon release agent; 40 to 55 parts by weight of hexane; 20 to 25 parts by weight of toluene; and 0.08 to 0.18 parts by weight of platinum catalyst, and can be coated on the first coating layer (2) by air spraying or roller coating, and dried. The second coating composition is applied onto the coating layer formed with the first coating composition to form a thin film so that the film formed with the second coating composition can improve releasability and prevent adhesion of the adhesive of advertising materials.

In an embodiment of the present invention for the coating method using the coating composition for preventing adhesion of advertising materials in accordance with the present invention, platinum catalyst is used to reduce curing time, wherein the platinum catalyst can be added with acetic acid type or non-acetic acid type silicone to further reduce the curing time.

Here, the user can further add oil to further improve the releasability of the second coating composition. The oil can be selectively silicone oil, paraffin oil, terrapin oil, or petrol oil.
